GRAHAM: “One last thing, you didn’t ask me about Harry Reid. I’ve been around this town for a while. I actually like Harry but what he did on the floor of the Senate is so out of bounds. I think he’s lying about his statement of knowing something about Romney. This is what’s wrong with America.”

CROWLEY: “That’s pretty stiff. You think the leader of the Senate is lying?”

GRAHAM: “I really do. I think he’s created an issue here. I think he’s making things up at a time when the country is just about to fall apart…. I just can’t let that pass. I just cannot believe that the Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate would take the floor twice and make accusations that are absolutely unfounded, in my view, and, quite frankly, making things up to divert the campaign away from the real issues.”

PRIEBUS: “As far as Harry Reid is concerned, listen, I know you might want to go down that road, I’m not going to respond to a dirty liar who hasn’t filed a single page of tax returns himself. Complains about people with money but lives in the Ritz Carlton here down the street. So if that’s on the agenda, I’m not going to go there. This is just a made-up issue. And the fact that we’re going to spend any time talking about it is ridiculous.”

STEPHANOPOULOS: “You say you are not going to respond, but you just called him a dirty liar. You stand by that, you think Harry Reid is a dirty liar?”
